3.3 Unpacking and handling
Care should be taken when unpacking and handling the
equipment. A visual inspection should be made to see that the
equipment has not been damaged during shipment and that all
components and parts are present according to the packing list.
An autopilot system for Volvo Penta IPS will include:
• Control unit with standard installation accessories.
• AC05 Autopilot computer and one 10 m (33') Robnet2 cable.
• Interconnection cable to Volvo IPS 1 m (3’)
• RC36 Rate Compass with 15 m (49') cable attached.
• Three autopilot manuals (use the AP26/AP27 manual)
• Optional equipment that may have been ordered for the
installation.
3.4 Determine system configuration
It is important to become familiar with the configuration of the
system prior to beginning the installation. The autopilot system
layout with options is shown in Figure 3-1.
As m
any of the units are communicating on a common network
(Robnet2), with identical connectors, the installation is
simplified. Try to mount the units within the standard cable
length supplied with each unit, if possible. Robnet2 Extension
Cables (1, 5 and 10m) and Robnet2 T-Joiner are available from
your Simrad dealer.
